Livingston
Hearts are in a prime position to extend their lead at the top, with main title rivals Celtic and Rangers facing each other and guaranteed to drop points.
They also have a favorable matchup, hosting Livingston, a side that has struggled badly on the road. Livingston are winless in their last 10 away matches, posting a goal difference of 7:20. Alongside Dundee FC, they are the only teams yet to record an away victory in the Scottish Premiership this season.
The head-to-head record further strengthens Hearts’ case. Livingston are winless in their last five meetings with Hearts, losing four times and drawing once. Additionally, Livingston’s attacking threat is reduced, as their top striker Bokila is expected to start on the bench due to squad rotation.
What we say
Hearts to Win
With a clear opportunity to increase the gap over their title rivals, Hearts are expected to approach this match at full intensity. Given Livingston’s poor away form, unfavorable head-to-head record, and limited attacking options, Hearts are well placed to secure an important home victory.
